This book is the first-ever comprehensive analysis of international law from Global South perspectives with specific reference to Bangladesh.
The book not only sheds new light on classical international law concepts, such as statehood, citizenship, and self-determination, but also covers more current issues including Rohingya refugees, climate change, sustainable development, readymade garment workers and crimes against humanity. Written by area specialists, the book explores how international law shaped Bangladesh state practice over the last five decades; how Bangladesh in turn contributed to the development of international law; and the manner in which international law is also used as a hegemonic tool for marginalising less powerful countries like Bangladesh. By analysing stories of an ambivalent relationship between international law and post-colonial states, the book exposes the duality of international law as both a problem-solving tool and as a language of hegemony.
Despite its focus on Bangladesh, the book deals with the more general problem of post-colonial states' problematic relationship with international law and so will be of interest to students and scholars of international law in general, as well as those interested in the Global South and South Asia in particular.

"Mohammad Shahabuddin [...] is a Professor of International Law and Human Rights at the University of Birmingham and, remarkably, all twenty-nine contributors of the book are originally from Bangladesh - being both established legal academics and early researchers in their particular field of law; thus, the book is unique in that it presents a clear picture of a Global-South State approach to international law."

"[...] the significance of publication of this book, which in my opinion the most important one is - I see it as 'branding of Bangladesh' in international law discourse at global intellectual system. The book has added a new voice (the Bangladeshi voice) to the TWAIL and Global South discourse, an area of international law which in this part of the region for a long time is dominated by scholars from our next-door neighbor. By doing so it also pushes that idea of 'soft power' in international law discourse of the Bangladeshi legal scholarship at global intellectual system. An enthusiast might even call it a 'defining moment' for Bangladeshi legal academia. I hope and believe this book might be the 'first ever of such kind' but it will certainly not be the last one. [...] Professor Shahabuddin is one of those rare Bangladeshi émigré scholars who went the extra mile to make sure that 'he' matters for Bangladesh. [...] To know more about those stories of 'suffering, solidarity, resilience, resistance, and success' and about the storytellers -- my dear readers, please read the book."
